An exploration of the life and legacy of Richard Davis, the charming and brash inventor of the modern-day bulletproof vest who shot himself 192 times to prove his product worked. Davis enjoyed celebrity status among police and gun owners across the country until the death of a police officer wearing a Second Chance vest revealed a man full of contradictions. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ramin Bahrani lays bare the complexities of one man’s supposed virtue while speaking to the nature of power and impunity in America.
